Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. For the past 10 years, hundreds of millions of people around the world

have been inspired to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. This November, Bank of Lake Mills has been focused on giving back to our local communities.

We have donated $10,000 throughout our area because every act of generosity counts! Join the global community movement and celebrate all acts of giving. 

The Bank of Lake Mills worked with the counselors within the Lake Mills and Watertown school districts to fill the clothing needs of their students.

Over $1,500 in clothing items were donated: a dozen pairs of boots, seven pairs of tennis shoes, ten winter coats, and various sizes of gloves and hats went to

the elementary schools. The Watertown School District received $250 in gift cards to be distributed to needy families, and clothing and food items were bought for

the Lake Mills High School from their wish list.

As part of our Giving Tuesday pledge, a poll was posted on the Bank of Lake Mills' Facebook page to allow members

of the community to vote on which charity should receive a $1,000 donation. The other charities received a $500 donation.

Poll Winner: Haus of Peace - $1,000 donation

Humane Society of Jefferson County - $500 donation

Jefferson County Literacy Council - $500 donation

Rainbow Hospice (not pictured) - $500 donation
